• Plan, coordinate, and execute EXFOR and SOF experimentation events from concept through post-execution review, including scenario development, scripting, training, facilitation, and senior leader seminar or workshop support.
• Conduct analytical assessments using commercial and government toolsets to evaluate technology feasibility, reliability, resiliency, and applicability to SOF missions.
• Provide subject matter expertise on emerging and advanced technologies; maintain relationships with SOF AT&L, Service and Joint S&T organizations, DARPA, and other DoD partners.
• Produce and deliver key products—reports, briefs, information papers, moderator guides, staff materials, and event documentation—capturing findings, lessons learned, and recommendations for future planning and experimentation.
• Develop POA&Ms, milestone schedules, and DOTmLPF-P assessments to identify gaps, evaluate alternatives, and inform strategic guidance such as SOF Operating Guidance, FPG, and SPG.
• Support and participate in planning conferences, working groups, forums, and technology engagements to coordinate stakeholders, refine scenarios, and advance experimentation objectives.

• 3+ years of experience in planning, concept development, analysis of alternatives, scenario development and execution, modeling and simulation, experimentation, design theory, and/or analytical methods used to assess networked environments and atypical simulation outcomes.
• At least 3 years of cumulative experience within USSOCOM organizations in a military, government civilian, or contractor capacity.
• Minimum of 3 years of experience planning large-scale events (30+ participants) for senior leadership, including researching and recommending venues, organizing and executing site surveys, and briefing site survey findings to government stakeholders.
• 3 years of experience conducting defense-focused research on emerging technologies, or integrating intelligence and operational information to build scenarios, studies, and analyses.
